Okay.

Well i dont need to rush into getting any right now, as my sex life is non existant LOL.

But the last time i went on birth control it was a low dose one and I bled for a straight month, had to come off them and go on HRT to get it to stop. Now ever since my periods come whenever they want to, with no particular schedule.

Should i have my hormones tested to see if something is out of whack or is this normal? Its been near five months since then now.

You probably should have something tested, anyway. Talk to your gyno.

The pill regulates so going off it gives your body the ok to be wacko. If the pill doesn't work or as adverse side effect for you there are other option. I was on the Depo Shot for one year. The ONLY downside to it was that when I stopped getting the injections it took a full year to wear off so it took me like 16 mo to get pg when i wanted to.
There are the IUD's that the dr places in the uterus and you don't even have to think about for like 5 years
there's also the ohhh can't think of it's name now but the fitted thing that you put in right before sex...diaphram...thats it....oh there are these ringy things that you stick inside and work jsut like a pill, releasing hormones but only need to be replaced monthly.

So you have many options now...have a frank talk with your OB/GYN

Thanks everyone!

Depo shot is not an option for me actually because almost all birth control makes me incredibly sick(nausea, headaches, mood swings. lol. Or i should say, MORE mood swings than normal :P)

I was to the doc today though. He is doing ALOT of bloodwork. I requested it. Hormones, Cholesterol,B12 and like, well he checked off about fifteen things So basically everything.

Im really really considering the IUD option. You can have it removed i think before five years, which right now might be something id want depending on how the relationship i just got in goes

Yes the IUD does sound like a good option. If I hadn't had my tubes tied thats the route I was gonna go....Thank god I got my tubes tied. One more oops and I'd be in a padded room
